GENERAL INFORMATION
Safe Boating Suggestions (Continued)
Watch fallen skiers. When using your boat for water skiing or similar
activities, always keep a fallen or down skier on the operator’s side
of the boat while returning to attend the skier. The operator should
always have the down skier in sight and never back up to the skier
or anyone in the water.
Report accidents. Boat operators are required by law to file a Boat-
ing Accident Report with their state boating law enforcement agency
when their boat is involved in certain boating accidents. A boating ac-
cident must be reported if (1) there is loss of life or probable loss of
life, (2) there is personal injury requiring medical treatment beyond
first aid, (3) there is damage to boats or other property where the
damage value exceeds $500.00 or (4) there is complete loss of the
boat. Seek further assistance from local law enforcement.
